Jacob Fearnley vs Brandon Nakashima prediction
Jacob Fearnley makes his Stuttgart bow aiming to make another strong impression on grass.
Last year, the Scot won a Challenger title in Nottingham before giving a good account of himself at Wimbledon when he nicked a set off Novak Djokovic.
The British number two continues to take great strides up the ATP ladder and now sits inside the world’s top 50 for the first time after a solid clay swing.
The 23-year-old now faces the USA’s Brandon Nakashima for the first time in what is a juicy first round tie.
The sixth seed has good pedigree on the surface with some solid runs at Wimbledon in the past as well as a push to the semi-finals in this tournament last year.
Nakashima’s experience of the event may give him a slight edge, but Fearnley is enjoying upsetting the odds right now and is a good bet to make this a battle.
Jacob Fearnley vs Brandon Nakashima tip: Over 2.5 sets
